How to apply special effects to bitmap images with Corel Draw
When we use the different tools of Corel Draw, we can see that they are very easy to use. As in the case where we want to make a color adjustment to a photograph. But when it comes to effects maybe it can get a little tricky, so let's tell you what you should do.
Before you can apply special effects to bitmap images with Corel Draw, you need to do the following. First you should know that all the effects that you can add to bitmap images are found in the Bitmap tab.
This is in the top menu and here we will see the options for Straighten Image, Color Mode, Increase Limit and Color Mask.
First, we'll use the Straighten Image option, this tool ideal when images are distorted. Either due to problems with the lenses that were taken or at the time of scanning. When we select this tool, it will present the image on a grid sheet and we will be able to choose different options.
These grids help us to have a clear view of the effect, and these grids can be changed in color or the number decreased or increased. But the most important options are to correct before the lens distortion. Each time you perform the correction you need to click OK, if the distortion still does not completely correct, select this tool again.
This action can be performed as many times as needed. The other options we will find in this tool are Rotate the image e Crop Image . The next effect is Color Mode, there we can see different options and these will depend on the final result you want my image to have, such as grayscale, 1-bit black and white, etc.
Using the color mode tool, increase the limit and color mask
When I select one of the allowed options, it will show me a preview, where I have the original image on my left and the image with the effect on my right. And depending on the options you choose to edit the image, these will be applied. Finally we need to create a clip in the Accept option.
Inside the tool Color mode we will find a very important option that is widely used for images on the Internet and it is Color with a palette. With it we can change the tone of the image, using a different color palette. The next tool we will use to apply special effects to bitmap images is Enhance Boundary.
By selecting the manual option, we can extend the image area and these extra areas will be white. Whenever you make changes to a parameter, make sure you have the Keep Proportion option turned on. This tool is ideal for adding external text to the image or inserting a frame, etc.
The last tool is Bitmap Mask, with it you can indicate which colors of the image I want to cover and which colors I can show. So the area I remove the color will be transparent. And so this is the end of this article he showed you how to apply special effects to bitmap images with Corel Draw.
